I've posted all of the below before, but it all still stands true. Heading into my first ever Christmas alone I'm getting a bit lonely and sentimental. Hoping to find someone to chat to, get to know, or whatever works best for both of us. I'm not expecting to find a nice lady in my stocking this year, but perhaps I can meet one who likes to wear them?

Me - 45. Recently separated after 20 years together (married for 11). 5'5, so a bit short, I get that's not always appealing. Fully house trained. Well maintained Dad-bod with nice shoulders and back. Hairy chest. Shaved elsewhere. Looking for new friends and sexy conversation. Happy to meet if we're compatible. Someone to warm the cold side of my bed. Someone to stroke my chest, and other things!

You - 30 . Shorter than me, so 5'4 or below. Would be nice if you were smaller than me but can still wear heels. Slim to curvy. Redhead or brunette is my preference.

That's the physical side of things out of the way. If you decide to get in touch, which I hope you do, I'd like to think we can make some sort of connection. I've got a bit of knowledge on most things so should be able to hold a conversation at least. Time will tell I suppose. Please just ask if there's anything else you'd like to know, otherwise things will be discovered in the fullness of time.

I'm not necessarily looking to jump into things straight away. Hot and heavy is fun but there's nothing wrong with taking things slowly and building up a friendship first. It's all a bit scary being back out there, and I'm still not entirely sure I'm ready, but I'm lonely. That's the truth of it.

Thanks for reading if you've managed to get this far. Please use the word "monkey" if you decide to message me, just so I know you've read this! I'm pretty good at weeding out the fakes.
